Throughout history, human beings have been astonished by the concept of flight. In the modern world, planes, helicopters and other aircrafts have been engineered to fulfil this perception, allowing people to travel around the world in easy. However, just like cars and trains, planes are also prone to accidents influenced by bad weather conditions. The information below describes how a thunderstorm and wind shear affected Delta fight 191 in 1985. Which will provide the physics behind the accident and the

of traveling for work, vacations or to see family members. Statically air travel is safer than traveling by car, airplanes have higher fatality accidents. The reasons airplanes crash vary and can happen during takeoff, landing or during flight. “August 1985 witnessed more passenger and crew deaths on commercial airlines than any other month.” [http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33931693.] On August 2, 1985, Delta Flight 191 was making a routine trip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Los Angeles

industry. There are many factors will cause dangerous to flights, such as human factors, problem of aircraft structures and so on. Flight safety has many challenges. Due to the climate variability and suddenness, meteorology has become a severe problem in aviation. Many air crashes are in the result of bad weather. In generally speaking, there are several weather phenomenon have much influence on flights, like turbulence, including clear air turbulence, thunderstorms, icing, volcanic ash. People have

their leisure. The concourse system at KATL is set up in linear satellite configuration. All passengers pass through one of the three security check points on concourse T which is home to 15 gates beyond concourse T Concourse A through F are home to 191 domestic and international gates. Passengers are transported through these concourses via moving sidewalks and an automated people mover (Hartsfield-Jackson, 2016). The 4,700 acres that the airport covers feature 5 parallel runways (8L/26R, 8R/26L

factors. An aviation accident is the worst nightmare of every pilot or passenger that has ever ridden in an aircraft. Although air travel is one of the safest forms of transportation, accidents do happen with dramatic and terrifying results. The causes of these aviation accidents vary greatly depending on specific circumstances and problems that may develop during the flight process. Weather is one of the factors that can influence an aircraft accident in a number of ways. There are several weather

The Legal and Regulatory Environment When we look at the history of government involvement in safety regulation, we first must realize that there is a need for such involvement. A perfect way to put this is, “Government has a responsibility to protect individuals from unhealthy environments, whether the sources of health risks are natural or created by people or organizations” (Frieden, 2013). Long before the Wright Brothers made history at Kitty Hawk, man has found themselves having to fight for

The flight chief is the best example of TACON as they run the flight who is conducting the daily operations. They are told to conduct guardmount, but they are not told in what order they conduct their briefings or what type of information needs to be briefed every day. They also assign who gets posted at each location for the day. OPCON would be the post priority chart that tells the flight chief which posts are the most important and require the most manpower. TACON is used when the flight chief
